The pen, your mighty self defense friend

By: joseph truncale

This book will show you how a simple writing tool can easily be turned into an effective self-defense weapon with just a little knowledge, practice, determination and imagination. This is to my knowledge, the first manual ever written that deals primarily with the use of the pen as a self-protection tool. Some of the areas this book will cover include choosing the best pen for self-defense, carrying methods, how to grip the pen for most effectiveness, the right to self-defense and the law, vulnerable areas of the body and specific techniques and tactics to use the pen for self-defense. When you finish this text, you will be more aware and confident in your ability to defend yourself using a simple pen or pencil. The key to defending yourself must always begin with the realization that your own body has numerous areas that can be used as a self-defense tool.

Pro-Systems Complete Baton Manual

By: Fernan Vargas,Joseph Truncale

The straight stick has probably been used as a self-defense tool since a human made the first footprints on earth. Through the ages variations of the stick and staff have been created to make a better self-defense tool. The straight stick was turned into spears and swords. Understanding the basic use of the straight police baton makes it possible to use numerous other objects for self-defense. In fact, the same techniques taught for using the police baton relate to a host of stick fighting and sword arts such as Hanbo- Jutsu, Jo-Jutsu, Wakizashi-Jutsu and similar weapon combat systems. It is hoped this book will provide a basic overview of the many ways a straight baton can be used for self-defense, control and takedowns for law enforcement, security officers and martial artists studying weapons.

SHOTOKAN KARATE: PRACTICAL COMBAT KARATE FOR THE STREET

SHOTOKAN KARATE: PRACTICAL COMBAT KARATE FOR THE STREET

By: Joseph Truncale

Shotokan Karate is one of the most effective forms of self-defense but it is this area that is most ignored in traditional Shotokan dojos. This modest manual is different from most Shotokan Karate texts because it focuses on the self-defense application of karate. Traditional Shotokan karate concentrates on three primary areas. They are basics or Kihon, Kata or forms, and sparring or kumite. The sparring may consist of five times sparring, three times sparring, one time sparring, semi-free sparring and free sparring. Self-defense training is seldom practiced and this manual hopes to fill that gap for students of Shotokan and other traditional styles of Karate. This manual covers the basic principles of self-defense, use of force factors in self-defense, simple and effective self-defense techniques to counter arm grabs, body grabs, choke attacks, punching and kicking attack counters, club attacks, knife attacks, gun attacks, ground attacks and multiple attacker self-defense techniques.

Whether you carry the expandable type of baton or the standard rigid model, this text will provide a different perspective on how to use the baton for control and self defense.
